Speaker Packet & Safe Messaging Guidelines

The words we use matter. Safe, respectful language about suicide and mental health reduces stigma, protects people who may be at risk, and encourages hope, healing, and help-seeking. Speakers are expected to use non-stigmatizing language, avoid sensational or graphic descriptions of suicide methods and details, and highlight messages of hope, recovery, and available resources.

Proposals that do not follow these guidelines will not be accepted. Thank you for helping us create a conference that is safe, supportive, and hopeful for everyone in the room. Please review the safe messaging guidelines before submitting a proposal. Questions? Contact us »
